God of the covenant, you have redeemed us and gathered us together as one in Christ. In trust we pray:
Teach us your love, O God.
Help us to let go of unfair expectations, judgments, and grudges.
Teach us your love, O God.
Widen your Church’s circle of inclusion and welcome.
Teach us your love, O God.
Spark creativity in disciples who watch out for those who are homeless, jobless, or without necessary provisions.
Teach us your love, O God.
Our Father . . .
May almighty God show us mercy, forgive our sin, and lead us to everlasting life, through Jesus, our Redeemer. Amen.
